Today seems like a good day to remind people that Trump's first act as president this term was to pardon over a thousand people who committed political violence on his behalf. Because that’s just who he is… A criminal.

Imagine the thrill of a lifetime in going all the way to the moon... And then coming back and being forced to meet with this piece of trash.

KELLY: This is a mile away from a school. This thing is spewing out 12 tons of lead every single year. Can I commitment from you to fix this? ZELDIN: I receive and transmit KELLY: But your job is to look out for the health of the American people ZELDIN: Just following the statute

"Why is it controversial to step in when someone’s getting bullied and try to stop it?” —Billie Eilish Kudos to Billie for speaking out and for standing up to the bullies. We could use a lot more of that these days.

The President of the United States is a liar.

🚨 THIS SHOULD SET OFF EVERY ALARM: Louisiana is about to pull the rug mid-election. Let’s be clear what’s happening. 📌Absentee ballots already out 📌Early voting starts May 2 📌Election day is May 16 And just days before voting begins, Gov Landry is planning to suspend the primary entirely.

An important update: Texas courts created such an unprecedented situation in an emergency filing last night, no one knows who is in charge of InfoWars, and therefore no one can pay rent. Since no one controls these assets right now, it does appear InfoWars will shut down tonight at midnight.

TOMORROW: Americans are calling out of work, walking out of school, and refusing to shop on the nationwide day of economic disruption. There are many ways you can get involved on May Day: survey.alchemer.com/s3/8705046/i... Join one of the over 3,000 events planned: www.mobilize.us/mayday/map/?...

This entire case is motivated only by political retribution against Comey. Todd the Trump Turd Blanche is a clown. Asked if the DOJ would pursue charges against anybody else who posts "86 47" and whether that would impinge their First Amendment rights, Blanche said that "every case is different.”

BREAKING: Mills ends her Senate run—Graham Platner the presumptive Dem nominee. Platner’s platform is nearly identical to Mamdani’s platform—and polling has Platner up 10 points against Susan Collins. In MAINE! Dems will win every seat when we prioritize WORKING PEOPLE over corporate interests.

The folks who signed on for LIV Golf were 100% on board with sportswashing human rights violations if it meant getting a bag. Would serve them right if the PGA slammed the door in their faces.

Probably right about the time the market closes on Friday 🤷‍♂️

A protester during the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing with Pete Hegseth: “You’re a war criminal. You should be arrested.” Who else agrees with him? 🙋‍♀️

#Melania Your husband was gleeful about the deaths of #RobertMueller & #RobReiner, he yells at & demeans female reporters on a weekly basis, he encouraged a mob to endanger the life of his former Vice President. And on and on. . . So, #Melania, America is asking you to kindly f*ck all the way off.

“The supreme court betrayed Black voters, they betrayed America, and they betrayed our democracy.” - Barack Obama

This should never be considered normal.

I released my 2025 tax returns, and now I’m urging all Members of Congress and candidates for Congress to do the same. I’m not a millionaire, and at a time when Michiganders are sick and tired of politicians running for office to get rich, we owe the public the transparency they deserve.

Federal prosecutors are prohibited from indicting unless they have sufficient evidence to obtain & maintain a conviction. The defendant is charging with using a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence by discharging it.

5 out of the 6 Supreme Court Justices who gutted the Voting Rights Act were nominated by a president who came into office having lost the popular vote. 70% of Americans support the John Lewis VRA. The Supreme Court is historically unpopular. It is not a democratically legitimate institution.

@warren.senate.gov HE CAN’T BE TRUSTED‼️ #EpsteinFuryIllegalWar

Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-MD) tells @macfarlanenews.bsky.social the lawyers who filed the Comey case should be sanctioned. Ivey: I think the lawyers who are pushing these kinds of cases really should be held accountable.

This week, my home state of Florida under @GovRonDeSantis and an already in place super majority said FUCK YOU to all of southern and central Florida. In doing so, lawsuits are inevitable. However, voters are also inevitable, IF WE VOTE!!! These maps have no effect on statewide races.

Gas prices hit a new national high this morning. I don’t know what planet Tim Scott is on, but you can’t BS your way through people’s price struggles.

Bette has a message.

Today's episode is brought to you by the word "Staged."

Its so funny how they just move on from a supposed assassination attempt to... the Washington Commanders name. Not even a full 24 hrs later.

Wait. Who’s filming? And why were they allowed to just stand there?

I’m listening to seasoned reporters talk about how frightened they were during the shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner last night and imagining how much worse it is for America’s children. If there’s ever been a time to pass sensible gun control laws, it’s now.

It's jarring to see ICE executing American citizens in our streets for exercising their free speech rights. It's jarring to see innocent people being kidnapped and sent to gulags in El Salvador. It's jarring to see children being traumatized in concentration camps.

Rising costs have made $20K a year for child care feel like a "good deal." Families deserve better. Luckily, universal child care — including 2K — is on the way.

Tell me again that shit wasn’t staged.
